Mad Max: Fury Road
I thought Mad Max Fury Road was a great big budget movie. The movie follows Max a dweller of a wasteland sucked dry of all its resources and trying to survive. The picture itself is a kind of excitable scream of a movie with an endless supply of warrior-like loons in various forms of deadly, fast-moving machinery (hot rods, bikes, monster trucks) against some gorgeously shot desert backdrops.
You can almost feel the air whipping around your head and there’s an impressive lack of CGI but as an action spectacle the picture has few genuine “wow” moments, favoring constant motion over stand-out sequences.
For vehicular mayhem, it certainly can’t top the latest Fast and Furious. Still, for those who, like Hardy and were mere babes when the original was released it may have a novelty factor older viewers find missing.
I love the camera shots to establish characters and settings and the whole vibe given from the movie. It gives great ideas of camera shots and story ideas and gives a good feel for what this film is giving off to its audience. Overall I thought this movie was a great piece and could be a movie classic and I am glad to have seen this movie.
Avatar
"Avatar" is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the native people.
Watching it, I began to understand how people in 1933 must have felt when they saw King Kong. Motion-capture animation, which transposes actors' physical movements and facial expressions to digital characters onscreen, has never been executed with such accuracy and delicacy, and the planet's strange, colorful landscape is so minutely realized, with such careful study of botany and biology, that the movie's standard feels effortlessly sincere and realistic. The CGI looked amazing and created a convincing delicate and detailed world for us to enjoy. I love all the camera angle as well as the absolutely captivating story arc. Overall A fantastic classic movie that many need to watch.
The Babadook
The narrative of mother versus monster is a recurring one in horror. However, the sickening and mesmerizing twist here is that Amelia hates her son. One day she finds a strange book which when she reads it to her child causes horrifying events to unfold.
Occasionally, audiences are given a horror movie so raw with emotion, so provocative in its themes, and so sophisticated in its scares that it raises the bar on the genre. Jennifer Kent's The Babadook is such a film. Delivering a gut-punch of dread, while unfurling a taboo topic with unflinching portrayals, it'll leave you breathless. The whole ominous feeling the film gives out throughout the film leaves you on edge as well as the amazing acting to leave you interested for the full movie. I love the intricate shots to display the hidden details and gruesome effects. The Babadook is one of the best modern horror films i've seen in a while.
Cabin In The Woods
A refreshing take on a well-worn genre, sparkling with Whedon’s generous wit and ability to draw us into his game with the promise of something new and exciting. Certainly one of my favorite films of the year so far and a must-see for anyone wanting to be genuinely shocked by the places a walk in a dark, dark wood can take you. A group of teens go to a cabin in the woods for some fun and relaxation when gruesome events begin to occur but a form most wouldn't expect.
This film gave a fresh breath to the cliches of many horror films and gives a great twist on it. The film gave a very interesting and captivating story with great movie effects as well as great shot angle and settings to capture the perfect mood. Overall this film was a fantastic horror film that kept me interested for the entirety of the whole movie.
